Defense: Pittsburgh Steelers $5,000

The Dallas Cowboys allow the second-most points to defenses this season, and that includes the weeks where Dak Prescott was going nuts. The Pittsburgh Steelers score the seventh-most points of any fantasy defense. This is the most expensive defense in the league for a reason. Andy Dalton might return, but that won’t be enough to make the Cowboys any better. If Ben DiNucci is starting again, it could be really bad.

The Eagles defense scored 22 points, including a weird fumble recovery for touchdown. The Eagles defense isn’t that good, but this Cowboys offense is that bad. DiNucci had trouble holding on to the ball. The Cowboys literally threw the kitchen sink, and they were honestly bailed out by Carson Wentz playing as bad as their quarterback.

This week, Ben Roethlisberger won’t constantly give the Cowboys offense short fields. They will try to blitz as often as possible to either get sacks or force bad throws. This could lead to strip sacks, interceptions, and possible returns for touchdown. This could be a huge day for the Steelers defense.

The Steelers are worth the $5,000 they are getting. This could easily be a 20-point performance, which players would love from a $5,000 running back or receiver.
